CURrBOFTINEAU sOLONs,

We were led to express the opinion
recently that the commissioners oil
Bottineau County at their first session
demonstrated that they were going
to conduct the affairs of this county
economically and iuaic;ously," but it
now appears, In So economical, way

There r several matters which
crop out in the course of their pro.
ceedings, which while they seem eco.
nomical and proper, are calculated to
give a wrong impression of the ability
Of the county to pay its honest debts,
which We desire. to correct. They
eervey the idea Of bankruptcy,-:which
is not the fact. It is not right to as
sumo that the act of insolvency in an
individual as defined by the law is ap-
plicable to a municipal corporation or
because a county cannot pay in cash
its outstanding: warrants on their pre-
~sentation, that therefore, like the bus

In Bockwayvillc, Pa, little girl
was recently shot in the head. the bull
let actually penetrated the brain mat
ter, and the brain exuded through the
aperture. The doctors probed to the
depth of three inches in search of the
ball. For time paralysis followed the
rupture of the brain but gradually It
wore away and at last accounts the
child was in a perfectly normal condi-
ton except the unhealed opening. The
mental functions seem 20 be in no way
impaired and no danger has resulted
from inflammation. Such cases have

4 Shabby Trick.

A deaf old man. wearing shabby
clothes and riding in market wagon
was slowly toiling up a long hill with a
load of potatoes, drawn by a poor, bony
horse. Near the foot of the hill stood
the school-housc, around which the boys
were PLAYING. As the old man passed,
one of them said:
Lets 90 and raise the end board Of
that old mans wagon and let the pota-
toes drop out. Won't it be jolly to see
him stare when he gets to the top of the
hill and finds them gomez"
"All right says one and another;
let's 90. -
These boys soon caught up with the
wagon, quietly raised the end-board
and the potatoes dropped rapidly out
and were scattered along the dusty road.
The last bell rang. and in a minute the
scholars were sitting quietly in their
seats. Delaying the opening exercise,
the teacher said:
"As | came into the school-house |
